Share safely with PC Shield

With the growing proliferation of wireless networks, ensuring that your laptop is safe when connected to a network other than your own is more important than ever before. With Network MagicÆs automatic PC Shield feature, shared folders that previously were exposed to wireless threats because of Windows are now locked down and secure when you connect to another wireless network.

For example, if you have Network Magic installed on a laptop computer that uses a wireless connection, you can switch between your home network and another network (for example, an Internet cafe) and your shared files and folders are secure while you are away from home.

In addition, if your computer runs Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later and has the Windows Firewall turned on, PC Shield automatically does the following while you are connected to another network:

• Removes Windows Firewall exceptions

• Turns off Windows File and Printer Sharing, protecting your computer while you are connected to a network other than your home network.

When you reconnect to your network

After you reconnect your computer to your own network, PC Shield automatically does the following:

• Resumes sharing your Network Magic shared folders.

• Automatically reconfigures your Windows Firewall to work at home, and turns on Windows File and Printer Sharing again.
